Set directly on the beach in Zanzibar, the resort pairs easy access to the shoreline with a relaxed beach-bar atmosphere that suits unhurried days by the sea. The coastal setting naturally lends itself to time outdoors, with gardens and pool terraces complementing the beachfront position.
Meliá Zanzibar is a welcoming, eco-friendly, non-smoking resort with a calm, well-rounded range of services, including a 24-hour reception, concierge support, luggage storage and a handy shuttle and transfer service. Days unfold around the outdoor pool scene, where an infinity pool sits alongside an adults-only pool, with sun loungers, parasols, Bali beds and a poolside bar set within gardens and terraces. WiFi is available in the lobby, and practical touches include hotel-owned parking, car and scooter hire, bicycle storage, and a full suite of laundry and ironing services. For quieter moments and special occasions, there is a library, TV room and banquet hall, with wedding services and a tour desk adding polish to the stay.
Accommodation ranges from garden-view rooms and family rooms to ocean-view bungalows and standout The Level villas and pavilions, with options that look out to gardens or the sea. Rooms are thoughtfully equipped with air conditioning, WiFi, a minibar, safe, slippers, a kettle, mineral water and a TV with international channels, alongside practical comforts such as blackout curtains and an ironing set. Bedding is complemented by a pillow selection, and cots and high chairs are offered in selected room types. Tea and coffee making facilities feature across the accommodation, while selected The Level villas add generous living and dining spaces, kitchens with a fridge and toaster, and private pools, with executive lounge access included in selected The Level categories. Bathrooms include bathrobes and a hairdryer, with toiletries offered or available on request, and each room is equipped either with a shower or a bathtub.
A lively yet balanced programme includes entertainment for adults and children, live music and a mini-club, with a sociable feel that continues into the evenings. On land, facilities include a gym, tennis court and table tennis, with yoga and Pilates also offered, while billiards and table football add a relaxed, indoor option. The beachfront setting supports an active rhythm with beach volleyball and a wide choice of water sports such as kayaking, windsurfing, stand-up paddling, diving and jet skiing, alongside motorboat rides and water skiing. For slower-paced recovery, the spa is complemented by a sauna and massage treatments.
